She learned now that she was actually forced to become this company's boss.

Harry had left for three days, leaving no information about his coming back. He had promised to never give up on her. But why did he break his promise, just several days later?

Lola snickered, "Indeed, boys will be boys. Their words can never be trusted."

"... There will be an international coffee contest next week in Uthana. Many coffee manufacturers will attend from all around the world. The organizing committee has sent you an invitation. Will you participate?" The shop manager had asked Lola just as Joey had instructed him to.

'International coffee contest? In Uthana?'

"Where exactly is the location?" She asked calmly.

"The venue is said to be at the International Friendship and Culture Center in the New District."

'New District? It is not far away from the mansion. Should I go or not?' pondered Lola.

But after a while, Lola nodded a yes. That was too good of an opportunity to miss.

After that, the manager returned to the coffee shop and called and reported to Harry the whole story.

Hearing of her consent, Harry smirked; he hadn't sponsored the contest for nothing after all.

After hanging up the manager's call, he dialed her number.

Seeing who the caller's ID was, Lola somehow felt a little bit nervous.

But when the phone rang for another third time, she answered it.

This time Lola went silent. "Lola, the SL Group will host its anniversary in Ascea the day after tomorrow. Can I invite you to attend the ceremony?"

She heard Harry's deep voice coming from the phone's speaker.

Indeed, the company's anniversary was just around the corner. In the past four years, she had always attended its anniversary, every year with a new identity.


She missed the days in the SL so much. If it weren't for Harry, she would have never left there.

But what about this year? He invited her to join, but with what identity? And it seemed she was in no position to attend the ceremony any longer.

"No, I couldn't. I no longer work in the SL." There was nothing she had to do with the SL now.

Harry smiled. How could she have forgotten all about the betrothal gift he had given to her? "With a 20% share in the SL, you are a major shareholder. So you technically still work in the SL."

When she heard this, Lola was quite surprised. She had given back the document and rejected his favor. How come she was still a shareholder?

"I've returned that document to you..."

"Yes, you have. But before you did that, I had already made you a shareholder." He put a cigarette in mouth and then lit it.

Hearing the lighter's crack, she frowned. 'He must be smoking again, ' she thought.

After this, she said in a harsh and cold tone, "Boss Lewis, I can't stop you from smoking outside. But I hope you can refrain from smoking when Nicole is around you..." Nicole was too young to be exposed to Harry's cigarette smoke.

A big smile crept on Harry's face. Dragging a long puff, he then stubbed the cigarette. "I am all yours. You can interfere in all of my businesses, as long as you want to." She gave him orders, and that sounded great.

... Lola became speechless.

"About the anniversary, I... I will not be present there. Goodbye, Mr. Lewis." On the other side, she didn't want to hear any gossips.

Because of Harry, her reputation was basically in tatters now.

"Don't hang up!" Harry's worried and swift order made her pause just in time.

Was he being hard on her? Suddenly, Lola felt uneasy.

"Boss Lewis, is this the right attitude for a pursuer?" She didn't know why she had asked such a silly question.

Harry giggled, making Lola blush on the other end of the line. She then realized that her words sounded as if she already had said yes to his court.

"Sorry. I will never be hard on you, ever!" He would talk sweet to her, as long as she wanted.

Lola tapped her flushed cheeks, thinking that they were just talking about the anniversary before, and now they came to touch on another, different, topic.

"No, I'm good, Boss Lewis. Goodbye!" Without even waiting for Harry's reply, she hung up the phone immediately.

Lola looked at the blooming flowers outside in the park. Why did her cheeks flush and heart race whenever she met with him? Did she still love him? No, she couldn't. She said to herself, 'Lola you can't forget what happened before.'

Then she remembered how he tormented her until she became so heartbroken that she jumped for her death...

The Wechat app beeped with a new message. She opened it and saw that the sender was Harry.

"Be prepared. You will attend the anniversary as my date."

... She texted him back quickly, "Boss Lewis, I can't accept your invitation for the anniversary."

"The decision comes unilaterally." His words seemed so magic, and he couldn't take no for an answer. So, Lola naturally replied, "Okay."

Shocked about her reply, Lola hurriedly clicked on the cancel button.

But it was already too late, and Harry texted back, "I've already seen your reply. Wait for me, I'll pick you up, my queen." Harry smiled from ear to ear.
